Silly boys

He did this all by himself!

Snuggle time

Yes, that is play-dough hanging out of Kimball's nose. Must have been in there good to not fall out with all that dancing.

Putting up Christmas Lights

The boys loved decorating the house for Christmas, especially putting lights up outside the house.

Can you tell they're just a tiny bit goofy?

Kimball loves to have a little group kiss with his mom and dad. He will pull me and Peter's heads together and have us kiss. It's so sweet to see him get so happy over that!

Romantic Date on the River

Peter and I wanted to see the Christmas Lights on the Riverwalk so we escaped one night and had a romantic dinner in an outdoor restaurant named Paisanos. The food was delicious, but I was a bit chilly. Were not used to 40 degree weather anymore. Our Buffalo friends would think we're serious wimps!

The giant tree in front of the Alamo. Not Rockefeller Center, but still pretty cool.

A hint of Fall!

We had a little bit of fall in the beginning of December. The leaves finally fell from the trees so we were able to rake a small pile up in the yard and have fun jumping into and throwing the leaves. Ahhh, the joys of childhood!

Kimball had no fear of getting airborne

We had some pretty fun leaf fights

It was so fun to be silly and just play with the boys. It made me realize how much more I need to do that. At dinner Joey could not stop talking about how much fun he had. This is what he said in his prayer that night: "Dear heavenly Father, thank you that we could spend time with Mom today and have fun playing in the leaves. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
It was a sweet reminder of what is really important!

As soon as we moved to San Antonio, the boys helped me plant a ton of seeds in big Tupperware containers so we could get our garden growing. The plants were doing great until we planted them in the soil at our house--apparently not good soil. We had 1 inch corn cobs that the rolly pollies gobbled right up. The only real produce we were able to get from our garden was this one lone squash. This little guy sure took his sweet time to grow. We planted him in June and didn't get to reap the reward of the harvest until December. I was so excited that at least one thing grew. Hopefully with all the info I recently learned in a gardening class we will be able to have a more plentiful crop next summer!

Catching Butterflies

Joey had so much fun in November catching all the butterflies that flew in our yard. I think they were a little tipsy after chugging all our hummingbird nectar.

We swapped family photo sessions with Sally and Joe so we could send out some Christmas cards for the first time ever. Here are some of our favorites.

Pretending to be a reindeer family

We set up our tree the Sunday after Christmas. I love having a big 9 ft tree! It was so fun to see the boys excited to put up all the ornaments.



I was taking some test photos to see where the lighting was best and These 3 boys were so cute!

There is hope for brotherly love after all

Is narcolepsy hereditary?

We took the boys for their first bowling adventure Thanksgiving weekend. It was fun. i think the boys got a little bored by the time their balls made it down the lane. But it was a fun time beig together. They also learned the story of how Grandma taylor broke her ankle bowling--always a great childhood memoty of mine :)
